Meet Maren Morris! A young singer-songwriter with a new song called “My Church”. Which, in my opinion, is one of the best country songs I’ve heard in a long time. The song is full of heart and soul, and will truly take you to “Church” when you hear it.
Maren has been in Nashville pursuing her career for several years. The 25-year-old singer-songwriter grew up in Dallas, Texas. She left her mom, dad and sister and moved to Nashville to pursue her dream of being a country music artist. After releasing three previous albums; Walk On (2005), Maren (2007), and Live Wire (2011), with an independent label. Maren signed a major recording deal with Columbia Nashville, releasing her debut EP Maren Morris last year.
The debut single from that EP “My Church” has already reached #26 on the Billboard Country Airplay singles chart in just four weeks.
When talking about her new single, Maren says, “No one can really prepare you for what happens with a song, but I have nothing but positive hopes for it. At the end of the day I’m proud that I wrote that song. I have an emotional reaction to it every time I play it. I’m excited for people to hear it, and hopefully love it too.”
You can see Maren perform live on November 12th in Bloomington, Illinois. She will be a special guest of Kieth Urban’s for his “RipCord Tour” along with Brett Eldridge.
